    Yes, but maybe you shouldn’t?

      If you accept Disney is absolutely going to continue milking Star Wars no matter what, I think exploring Vader on screen a little more isn’t the worst path they could go down. Lots of interesting Legends material to pull from, as it stands I don’t think we’ve gotten any content around Vader before ANH besides Kenobi and Rebels? I’d be cautiously interested to see how they handled telling a story from his perspective.

        I will grant, if they start adapting the Kieron Gillen Vader comics, that could be pretty fucking cool.

      Hard agree. Andor is the best thing anyone has ever done with Star Wars.

      Yes, I’m including the original trilogy. I said what I said.

        As a huge fan of the franchise, I think andor Rogue one was the first actually good movie in the universe.

        Yes, including rots and OT

        Edit: mixed up rogue one and Andor lol

        Andor is for sure one of the better shows, up there with Clone Wars for me

          I think Rogue One definitely has some issues worth criticising, but I really do like it a lot. For me it’s easily up there with the original trilogy. In fact if I were to rank just the Star Wars movies, no other media, I’d probably put it at number 3, despite its flaws.

          It’s a movie where an absolute banger of a third act has to do a LOT of work to make up for a very weak first two acts, but my god the third act is so fucking good that it somehow pulls it off. The space battle, the assault on the tower, everyone doing their little part to help push towards one tiny little victory… that fucking Vader scene… it really does stick the landing.

    Like Darth Vader working in a grocery store oops that has been done already. How about Darth Vader working at a company that separates your work you with your outside you?
